US Patent 10253969 Body board with LED lights

This invention is directed toward a body board, used for riding ocean waves, paddling through standing water, and other aquatic uses, which has one or more strings of optionally removable LED lights disposed in one or more channels that have been molded or routed into the top, bottom, or sides of the body board. The channels are, in one embodiment, removably covered with a water-resistant covering that can be opened to remove or exchange the LED lights. The body board also includes a cavity into which a battery (optionally, with a solar charger) is placed, where the battery powers the LED's, and means of controlling the LED's. The battery cavity, in the first embodiment, is also covered by a water-resistant covering that can be opened to access the battery for removal or replacement. In a second embodiment, the cover is permanent, allowing for a more waterproof cover.
